It is THAT time of the year again, the mass exodus from the university... make way for students on summer holiday!!! So where are you going or have been for the summer break? Are you homebound to Malaysia. As for me I decided to stay in this side of the world for the summer. Just for fun. I took Latin and ballroom dance class for a month now and I must say it is a very worthwhile experience. I need to master Salsa pronto so I can dance with him in a Salsa club soon :D I am still counting down the days for my own holiday escapade. Gosh I reaally realllly can't wait any longer. Wish I could fly there right now, and finally be reunited with my dearest after 6 long months. By the way here are some pictures of Mexico :)
On top of Basilica de Guadalupe, overlooking Mexico City
Angels on top of the hill near the Basilica
Mountain on the way to Queretaro.
Souvenir sellers in Teotihuacan. Their expressions are priceless. Behind those eyes you can see the hardship of life.
On top of the Pyramid of the Moon looking toward the Aisle of the Deads and Pyramid of the Sun
Pyramid of the Sun. Ever watched Apocalypto? The Aztecs used to sacrifice men on top of the pyramid.
Walking on the Aisle of the Dead towards Pyramid of the Moon.
Tourists on the Pyramid of the Moon
Typical Street in Tequisqiapan, Mexico
A native Indian souvenir seller selling handmade dolls, blankets,zarape and carved pumpkins.
A Mexican restaurant in Tequisqiapan.
Around the central plaza in Tequisqiapan. It is a a very small yet classic Mexican town. The whole town looks like a movie set.
A church in Tequisqiapan. Doesn't it remind you of Nacho Libre?
The Mariachis in San Juan del Rio. Too bad they are not performing that day.
I believe this is a replica of Mayan ruins outside of the Museum in Mexico City
The ancient Aztec pictogram
The famous Mayan calendar that predicts the end of civilization in 2012. The Mayans were obssessed with time and their calendar accurately predicted date of the arrival of the Spaniards in Mexico hundreds of years after the calendar was made. Only time will tell if the Mayans were right.
This is Taxco. The town is famous for its silver mines and white buildings. Pretty congested with tourists. If you are looking for cheap silvers, this is the place to go. There are more silver stalls than food stalls on the street.
